After An Xin was thrown into jail, whether it was Shan Jinzhe and Chi Huanong, or the three generals' families.

Even the Xuanping Marquisate, which had a meritorious title, was suppressed in the court by Prime Minister Xiao and Duke Anguo.

Later, someone revealed to them that as long as they announced to the outside world that they were no longer An Xin's students, they would be able to serve as officials in the court smoothly.

Shan Jinzhe and Chi Huanong looked at each other secretly, then lowered their eyes and pretended not to hear.

When General Gao heard this, he was suppressed by General Yuchi and General Chen before he could lose his temper.

The rest of the families ignored the person who said this and did not refute him. It seemed that all those people related to An Xin learned to keep a low profile at once.

He would endure the suppression in the court as much as he could, and would give in if he couldn't. In the end, he even pretended to be sick and hid at home, ignoring everyone who came to look for him.

Prime Minister Xiao and Duke Anguo's group always felt like a dog biting a hedgehog, unable to start eating.

Jiang Chenxi, who always delivered meals to them, heard from these families how they dealt with the aggressive and powerful Concubine Xian and Prime Minister Xiao's party.

An Xin, chewing a big chicken leg in her mouth, smiled and gave them a thumbs up.

They thought that the old prince was pretending to be dead and lying in the palace watching these people jumping around, so why were they in such a hurry? If they wanted to watch the show, they could watch it together. The country was not theirs anyway, as long as the old emperor was not afraid of someone else taking the seat under him.

It doesn't matter where you stay. Even if you are caught and put in jail, you can still live a leisurely life.

But An Xin was at ease, and Emperor Sheng An became upset when he learned that she was imprisoned.

How could he let her do things for him when he was unconscious?

"Xiangfu! Do you think she was caught on purpose and didn't want to find a way out?!"

Eunuch Xiang lowered his eyes, secretly glanced at Emperor Sheng An who was leaning on the pillow, and twitched his lips. How should he answer this?

"I heard that someone broke into the prison of Master An and his students a few nights ago and tried to help them hang themselves with their belts, trying to make it look like they were committing suicide out of fear of punishment.

When Master An and his students refused to obey and struggled, fortunately one of his students who was on duty in the Ministry of Justice arrived with people, otherwise today would have been the day of Master An’s funeral.”

Emperor Sheng An glanced at Eunuch Xiang who had followed him for many years. His answer seemed to be nothing on the surface, but it seemed as if he had answered everything.

"Then let them suffer for a few more days," Emperor Sheng An took the tea handed over by Eunuch Xiang and took a sip. "I have been lying like this for several months, and those people should be unable to hold it any longer."

It turned out to be just as Emperor Sheng An expected.

A few days later, Prime Minister Xiao and Duke Anguo made a righteous announcement in front of all the civil and military officials.

A country cannot be without a ruler, which means that although Emperor Sheng An is still alive, he can no longer handle government affairs.

After discussion by the cabinet ministers headed by Prime Minister Xiao, they nominated the third prince, who came from a family of merit and was born to Concubine Xian, the highest-ranking concubine in the palace except for the childless Concubine Liang, as the crown prince of Daqian, to temporarily preside over the government.

Jiang Zhou only raised his eyebrows when he heard the news, not surprised at all, and said with a click of the tongue: "Prime Minister Xiao needs a weak puppet emperor so that he can legitimately control the government.

The fools like Consort Xian and the Duke of Anguo were blinded by their own ambitions and thought that Prime Minister Xiao had really been won over by them. "

"This is great." An Xin was lying on the mat that Jiang Chenxi had brought, and she said casually, "That guy doesn't want to waste time with them, so this is exactly what he wants. Now we can take care of them all at once."

"Headmaster, when are we going to leave?!" Jiang Zhou scratched the back of his hand, "It's very humid here, and I have a rash."

"If you want to go out, go by yourself." An Xin closed his eyes and said, "Do you still want me to take you there?"

Thinking that it must be very chaotic outside, Jiang Zhou shook his head decisively, "Forget it, it's nice here, it's quiet."

An Xin pressed her back teeth. The old emperor wasn't in a hurry, so why should she be in a hurry? She turned over and continued to lie still.

Anyway, those people who were sent to make their teachers and students commit suicide out of fear of punishment were secretly dealt with by some kind-hearted guy.

After discovering the existence of such a kind-hearted person, An Xin, who was no longer in danger, decided to live here permanently.

A certain kind-hearted person was now sitting in a carriage that looked ordinary on the outside but spacious and luxurious on the inside. He lifted the carriage curtain and was looking deeply at the prison of the Ministry of Justice where she was.

The man's handsome face was gloomy, and his eyes as deep as cold stars seemed to be able to see through the thick prison walls and see the man who always had a faint smile on his lips.

"The people guarding the cells have been arranged." The man's voice was low and cold.

"Yes, Master, everything has been arranged. They will not be wronged in there."

The man lowered the carriage curtain and whispered, "Let's go."

He just wants that person to feel comfortable living there. As for the other man, whether he feels comfortable or aggrieved, it has nothing to do with him.

The third prince Si Shuo was forced to take the position of crown prince by his mother and Prime Minister Xiao.

Some people who supported the eldest prince Si Han, seeing that they could not defeat Prime Minister Xiao's faction, switched to their side.

This made Master Kong, who was trying to win over court officials for the eldest prince, so ashamed that he dared not meet this grandson with whom he was not close.

Si Han sat in the main seat and looked at Master Kong with a hint of pity in his eyes.

Originally, he thought that Master Kong had let his mother down, forcing her to travel thousands of miles to the capital to look for her relatives and encounter bad people, which led to the unfortunate events that followed.

When he went to Nanyu this time and learned the truth, Si Han couldn't help but sympathize with the Grand Tutor.

"If those people don't support it, then they don't support it," Si Han said calmly, "You've been tired from running around during this period, so go back and rest."

"I..." Master Kong saw that Si Han didn't want to talk anymore, so he took back his words, turned around and left slowly with a guilty look on his face.

He secretly hated the fact that after Kong Xun left the Taifu Mansion, he was gradually no longer valued by the emperor and became a marginal figure in the court.

No wonder those officials switched sides at will. Master Kong returned home with a dejected look on his face.

His eldest son, whose official career was not going smoothly due to his influence, and his wife, who had already become estranged from him, saw Master Kong coming back.

The mother and son ate what they were supposed to eat and drank what they were supposed to drink, as if they didn't see him.

Master Kong sighed, turned and walked towards the study.

Prime Minister Xiao believed that he had control over the court and the imperial guards in the capital, and he was extending his hand into the camp outside the capital.

There are tens of thousands of soldiers there. With them, Prime Minister Xiao feels that he can rest assured and truly control the entire capital.

But he knew that General Yuchi was a smart general, and it would be difficult to bribe him.

General Gao was the epitome of a brave but foolish general. He didn't want his fact of recruiting him to be known to everyone, so he decided to give up.

Finally, Prime Minister Xiao set his sights on General Chen, the elegant man known as a Confucian general and Chen Qibao's father.
